==Altered characters== | |||
Some characters are considered to have declined in appearance since the 1999 trailer that was cut during Oni's development, particularly Muro: | |||

{{Quotebox|align=none|width=850px|quote=There were some issues with a few of the original characters, specifically the way they were modelled and textured. When Chris Hug[h]es got around to redoing them to remove sorting issues and correct their "physiques" (which is an 3D animation term relating to the way the vertices interact during animation) he often changed their clothes from the outfits Alex Okita originally gave 'em. Chris and Alex had what you might call a "friendly rivalry" in the art department ;^>}} | |||
==Cut animations== | |||
The 1999 trailer also reveals that computer screens (and maybe other environmental objects) were going to have animated textures. This feature is still present in Oni, but only seems to be used once, for the news broadcast on the giant screen in Rooftops. The original intention seems to have been to bring more life to the environment by making all computer screens animated (at least, the two that appear in the trailer are animated). | |||
